Three days and three nights. ...

Passover was on the Fifth Day of the week(known to us as Thursday) that year. The Jewish day STARTS and ENDS at sunset so....

Yeshua died at the time the lambs (plural as thousands of lambs were killed in the Temple for Pesakh, every family needed to have one - it took hours) were killed for Passover. He was taken down and placed in the tomb before sunset. So....
Wednesday sunset to Thursday sunset (5th day/Thursday) - first Jewish night and day in the grave
Thursday sunset to Friday sunset (6th day/Friday) - second Jewish night and day in the grave
Friday sunset to Saturday sunset (7th day/Saturday)- third Jewish night and day in the grave

Thus Yeshua was in the grave 3 days and 3 nights, just as He said:

Matt 12:40 "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."

Yeshua rose sometime after sunset on Saturday. Anytime after sunset on Saturday would be the first day of the week, we call it still Saturday until midnight when it becomes Sunday. But the first day of the week starts Saturday night according to God's calendar time. Everything in the bible works on G-d's ordained calendar, not ours

'Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him....it is NOW THE THIRD DAY SINCE THIS HAPPENED....'" (Luke 24:18-21)

Why I picked 30 AD?
455 BC the command to rebuild Jerusalem's Temple was given [69 weeks] Daniel 9:25-26 Day=Year; [x 7 week of years] works out to be 483 years which ends up at 30 AD when you do not count 0 as a year. It is also estimated that Yeshua was born somewhere between 4 and 6 BC. Add 30 years [Luke 3:23 said His ministry stated at age 30(Numbers 4:47)] add 3 ½ years of ministry and you end up at the Passover in 30 AD.

The Talmud relates what happened when 600,000 Jewish heads of household began rounding up their lambs on the 10th of Nissan. The lamb was worshipped as a deity in ancient Egypt, so this caused quite a commotion. The firstborn of Egypt, who held the key social and religious positions in Egyptian society, confronted the Jews, and were told: "We are preparing an offering to G-d. In four days, at the stroke of midnight, G-d will pass through Egypt in order to execute the tenth and final plague; all firstborn will die, and the people of Israel nation will be freed."

The firstborn, having already witnessed the first nine plagues occur exactly as Moses had warned, approached Pharaoh and his generals and demanded that the Jews be freed immediately. When Pharaoh refused, the firstborn took up arms against Pharaoh's troops, killing many of them. This event is alluded to by the Psalmist, who sings

Ps 136:10 [Offer thanks to G-d,] who smote the Egyptians with their first born;

Mark 11:7-11 KJV 7. And they brought the colt to Yeshua, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. 8. And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way. 9. And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: 10. Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. 11. And Yeshua entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, the went out unto Bethany with the twelve

Yeshua ministersin Temple, The Blemish Check is performed by the interrogated by Pharisees, Scribes and Sadducees. During the time of the exodus, the lamb is taken into dwellings to be examined for 4 days to see if it is without spot or blemish. During the temple times the Lamb was led through Jerusalem to Temple and examined by the High Priest and chief priests for 4 days looking for spots or blemishes that would disqualify it from being THE Passover Lamb. Yeshua enters Jerusalem on donkey and teaches in the Temple for 4 days after He cleansed the temple.

Matthew 26:1 The Plot Against Yeshua When Yeshua had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples 2 As you know, the Passover is two days away;and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified. 3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas 4 and they schemed to arrest Yeshua secretly and kill him. 5 But not during the festival; they said or there may be a riot among the people. the disciples prepared the Passover

Mark 8:31 Yeshua Foretells His Death and Resurrection

MARK 11:12And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13. And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14. And Yeshua answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. 15. And they come to Jerusalem: and Yeshua went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; 16. And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. 17. And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. 18. And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine. 19.[bless and do not curse]And when even was come,[bless and do not curse]he went out of the city. Mark 11:20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

Evening starts Nisan 14, Last Supper in the House with the Upper Room

I twas on eve of the 14th of Nisan Yeshua met with his disciples in the Upper Room which stood over the Tomb of David. This supper was a rehearsal supper for the Passover Seder to be done after the slaying of the Lambs on the afternoon of the 14th of Nisan, and to be eaten on the eve of the 15th of Nisan, the Passover Seder. It was here Yeshua instituted the Last Supper's commemorative rites. Was the Last Supper a Passover Seder?
In that night, 14 Nisan, Yeshua was betrayed and arrested.

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.- Isaiah 53:7

On the Temple Mount, the eve of the 15th day of Nisan, the cohanim were quickly removing all the lambs and distributing them to the families, who were holding Passover Sedars. At that time a rich nobleman, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a member of the Roman Provincial Council of Judea, an esteemed Elder of the Jewish Sanhedrin and sat on the hereditary seat of David, was removing the body of Yeshua along with the wealthy Pharisee Nicodemus. Once the barley is brought to the Temple Courtyard, priests beat, roast, grind, and sift the grain. A handful of the resulting flour is burned on the altar. The remainder is eaten by the priests. - The Temple Institute

Here is one vital nugget of information. Joseph of Arimathea was the brother to the father of Yeshua's mother, Miriam, and the great uncle to Yeshua HaMaschiach (Yeshua the Messiah). Together, Joseph and Nicodemus took the body of Yeshua and placed Him in a newly cut family tomb.

John 19:38 After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a DISCIPLE OF YESHUA, BUT SECRETLY, FOR FEAR OF THE JEWS, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Yeshua; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Yeshua. And NICODEMUS, who at first came to Yeshua by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. Then they took the body of Yeshua, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. So there they laid Yeshua, because of the Jews' Preparation Day, for the tomb was nearby.

Where there is a lot of confusion is on the Sabbath. There were two Sabbaths that week that Yeshua died. The first one occurred on the evening of the crucifixion which is the High Sabbath. Luke 23:52; Mark 15:42 Yeshua is buried at the end of preparation day before this Sabbath. After this High Sabbath Mary purchase the spices and prepare them but couldn't get it all done before the weekly Sabbath came about.

Mark 16:1 When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.

Please note what they did.

Luke 23:56 56 Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

They and He rests during the weekly Sabbath.

 

[visionary]

Yeshua was crucified on Wednesday and then the high Holy Day [Feast of Unleaven Bread] began Wednesday night at sundown and end at Thursday sundown; which would be the beginning of the Friday, the weekly preparation for weekly Sabbath. This is why the women did not have time between the Sabbaths to anoint him. I see not how they should be furnished with pestles and mortars and other vessels for pounding mixing and melting spices I rather think they bought spices already mixed into an ointment prepared and fitted for the use intended by them.

In countries where embalming was in use and where they buried soon after men had expired and especially in great cities and near them such as Jerusalem there must have been shops or warehouses of apothecaries or embalmers or confectioners where spices of all sorts proper for funeral rites and also bandages and rollers might be had and upon the shortest notice for all sorts of persons according to their several circumstances

We have an instance of this in the burial of our Saviour His crucifixion and death were unlooked for by his friends Nevertheless as soon as he had expired Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus came to the place bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes about an hundred pound weight And they took the body of Yeshua and wound it in linen clothes or bandages with spices as the manner of the Jews is to bury. Long ago, after the death family members gathered to ceremoniously prepare the body. The body was cleansed, anointed with oils and spices, and wrapped in a special linen cloth. The anointing and preparing of the body requires a special blend of essential oils and spices. The common essential oils and spices used include sandalwood, myrrh, spikenard, frankincense, fir balsam, myrtle, pine, cypress and spruce with extra virgin olive oil. These oils have been used for hundreds of years for this primary purpose of preparing and purifying the dead.

Preparation day would be Passover as it isn't a Sabbath but the first day of the Feast of Unleavened bread is... then the normal weekly preparation day for the Weekly Sabbath, which is the preparation day that this verse talks about the women gathering what is necessary to the anointing. Since the whole day of preparation day was not enough time for the women to get the spices, prepare the spices, get out to the grave site, and prepare the body, we can only assume that it took longer than a day. There is no way that I believe these women would have delayed except that which is necessary.

John 20:1 KJV says that during Mary's way to the tomb it was "still dark." The intent of the reference to it being the 1st day of the week could be interpreted to mean that it was Mary's intent to anoint Yeshua as soon as Sabbath was over.

Saturday night was when I understood that they went out to cut the barley that they had the day before chosen. Yom HaBikkurim (Day of the First Fruits) starts that evening. As the sun was setting in the western sky, at the end of the weekly Shabbat, the priests are in the field of barley. Since it was near the time of the full moon, unless there were clouds, they were able to gather with great ceremony and celebration, including a parade back to the temple. Yeshua awakes His Temple, resurrected back to life as the First Fruits.

High Priest offering his lamb as the first Passover Lamb of the ceremony, at that moment while this slaughter is about to occur, it would not be surprising that God rents the curtain signifying that the Lamb of God has been offered and this service has now been fulfilled by the Son of God upon the cross. Yeshua had then been hanging on the cross for six hours when He died. That was the very hour the Passover lambs were to be slain in the temple. Yeshua, the lamb, died. The curtain is rent.
